 Third, When the Indian is thirsty and comes to a stream of water, l,e will not kneel down, like white man, but will squat down. form a sort of a scoop out of his hand, throw the water into lis mouth i'll q continuous stream, until his thirst is appeased.
 Now, if we take a glance into the book of Gideon, we will find that when he marched to attack the Philistines and arrived at cer- tain brook, all the men who knelt down were to be left be- hind, and those who Tapped water by hand were to be selected. It appears from that account that there were three hundred with which small number he smote the Philistine host and gained the vic tory.

In answer to Boss Tweed" con corning the removal of c. F. Cate, from the office of Justice of the Peace, we twill say, presumed MT
 Cate will not be removed, what is he going to do about it? Any court of competent jurisdiction will hold that the Board has the power to make the removal, and that it acted properly and in the best interest of the people by complying with the recommendations of the grand jury in the matter, there can be no doubt. The Board could not convert itself into a jury and bring MT. Cate be- fore them, in order to verify the charges of the grand jury. Sup pose the Board had ignored the re- commentators ot the grand jury, comprising as it did the best ele- ment of the county, large tax pay CTS and known by all to be honor able men, what then would you have said about it? We do not say that MT. Cate is guilty or that he is innocent of the charge, for we do not know; but we honestly believe that the Supervisors acted legally and justly by considering the re- commentators of the grand jury, and that their action will be upheld by all good citizens. Mir: Gates only redress, so far as we can see, is to bring it before the courts.

DAKOTA received but little atten- ton from the Congress just ad- journed, and is indignant and dis gusted at the scant attention given her. It is claimed that ten minutes earnest work would have given her the additional judges she needed, and as it is offenders against the law cannot be tried; the judiciary is oyerworked; the jails crowded and the wheels of justice locked. Dakota can now symp ,thize with us, for Apache county has expe- rienced just the same condition of affairs for the past year.

THE great railroad consolidation

THE great railroad consolidation of several roads under one man. agement, extending from New York City to the Gulf of Mexico has been delayed, but it is said not de- feated or broken up. The Balti- more and Ohio Railroad-one of the first ever constructed-is to en- ter this combination. This com- bination is to include eight roads, and it is thought will greatly re- duce the rates of traffic and travel as we'll as do away with the many delays naturally resulting from numerous transfers.

UPON close inspection the people find-as a great many have already found-that the engaging of coun- sel by the Board of Supervisors at their last special meeting to assist in collecting the taxes due the county by the Atlantic and Pa".'l' Railroad Company, for the yr.' 1886, was we'll and judiciou>lx cnn- sidered by Supervisors Rope anu Richards, and that the counsel they engaged was a man entirely un- known to them up to the time they asked him for his proposition which on the day following, they accepted.
 The Supervisors did not consider the fee a small one, but on the other hand, they considered it large, and the services to be rendered equally great and of the utmost impor- tance to the county. The Supervi- sors also knew the fee paid the at torney would be no greater than that which they would be compelled to pay any good lawyer practicing  before the United States Supreme Court for the same services.
 There were no favOrs to be shown and they had none to show. Their only interest was the welfare of the county. No one will believe they acted "wilfully criminal" and no one believes them to be as stupid ly ignorant" as the soft brained journal which terms their special meeting a "foops errand."
 Ill advised" were they? Who advised them? Are they not cred- tied with sufficient common sense to use little of their own judg- ment?
 They were asked to engage cOun- sel to assist in the collection of taxes from the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad Company for the year 1886. The fee to be paid and the counsel engaged, was the sole con sideration of the Supervisors, and thus they considered it.
 If the United States Supreme Court decide that this Company is liable to taxation all the accrued expenses will be refunded to the county-nothing lost. If the Su- preme Court decides this Company is not liable to taxation, the county is out about $3,O00 in general fund warrants, and will have saved $iO,- GOO or $15,000, which would have naturally resulted from yearly liti- gations of the disputed question of the liability of this road to taxa ton.
 1.-The Atlantic and Pacific Railroad  Company is not fighting it's taxa ton, from the fact that it is excess sively or outrageously assessed by the Assessor of Apache county, as its organ, the Critic, would have ,ts believe; but claims to be eXenIpt from all taxation-an independent sort of concern, which does not have to pay taxes.
 This Company is like any other taxpayer, has redress in the courts, if excessively and unreasonably taxed, and even though thus assess ed, is that any reason why this Company should claim entire ex- emption from taxation?
 With the present counsel, Apache county will settle forever whether or not this Company is liable to taxation, and thus prevent yearly litigation which otherwise would be inevitable, extending to an inde- finite time and a corresponding ex- pense.
 We believe the Supervisors acted conscientiously in the matter, and in manner which will rebound to
